<p>A self-expanding stent includes capture segments (102) including a first capture segment (102B) and a second capture segment (102C). The first capture segment (102B) includes a first crown coupled to a first crown of the second capture (102C) segment and a second crown, where the second crown is spaced apart from an adjacent second crown of the second capture segment (102C) when the self-expanding stent is in a relaxed state, and further where the second crown of the first capture segment (102B) captures the adjacent second crown of the second capture segment (102C) when the self-expanding stent is in a radially compressed state. The capture segments (102) overlap in a fish-scale manner when the stent is retracted into the sheath.</p> |
